Notes: oik-batch runs a subset of WordPress. For each file in the plugin, for each API, it sends an http request to create the API using admin-ajax.
The WordPress server handles the request by invoking the action requested. The API is created or updated. The call tree gets updated on the second and subsequent passes. For this to work properly the same version of the code is required on both client and the server. The plugin does NOT need to be activated, but it does need to be defined ( post_type: 'oik-plugins' ).
